KBCS (Bellevue, WA)
- Lady Be Good-Preservation Hall Hot 4 with Duke Dejan (A ragtime feel and a trumpet line that brings to mind "When The Saints Go Marching In.")
- (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher-Jackie Wilson (The original, fast version of this tune. Ten years after this was released, Rita Coolidge captured the late '70s pop music sensibility with a somewhat reworked version that was a huge hit. Both versions warrant airplay.)
- Willem de Fesch: Recorder Sonata, Op. 8, No. 5 (Oustal Trio) (If the feel of a Bach harpsichord piece appeals to you, this likely will, as well.)
- Long Hot Summer Days-Sara Watkins (Watkins convincingly portrays the hard-working subject of this John Hartford song. Filling up barges on the Illinois River is no picnic, apparently.)
- Eliza Jane-Eliza Gilkyson (I can't help but root for Eliza Jane. She tries so hard, after all. With a more positive attitude, she might find happiness sooner.)
